WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app from Meta (erstwhile Facebook) keeps bringing in new features to make the texting experience easier and more intuitive.

The report says that the feature to edit messages is currently under development and it is not ready to be released to beta testers yet. However, WABetaInfo has shared a screenshot that shows how the feature may work for Android users. The screenshot shared in the report, however, still shows an under-development stage of the edit messages feature. “You sent an edited message. You can see it if you’re on the latest version of WhatsApp,” the edited message currently says, with a link for updating WhatsApp.
